    Gene,  Thanks.  

Does anyone use Schedule A to tax return 1040 here.  What is your first 
two big chunk of deductions on Schedule A?

&nbsp;&nbsp; Gene and Mike,<br>
    <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; I got a dumb    question.&nbsp; Even you can put IBD subscription and <br>
breakoutwatch.com    online service fee into Schedule A as investor, is it
    <br>
worth to give up    Standard Deduction?&nbsp; For married filling jointly, the
    <br>
standard    deduction is $7,850.&nbsp;&nbsp; Can you put partial of your mortgage or
   <br>
rent onto Schedule A as investment expenses?&nbsp;&nbsp; If not,&nbsp;    what is big <br>
chunk of miscellaneous itemized deduction?&nbsp; <br>
    <br>
I    have no intention to knowing your expenses.&nbsp; I am just curious is it
   <br>
worth to use Schedule A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I maybe    wrong.<br>
